Quality Control

Our Dl-2-Isobutylserine is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis, and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications are provided for every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties.
